1 BOTTLE X 75cl.
It has a beautiful coral pink colour, very bright, with a fine and persistent perlage. An original Franciacorta in a modern style, making skillful use of the Pinot nero grapes.
The nose features distinct notes of wild berries, fresh rose petals, hints of apple and tropical fruit. The mouth is structured, crisp and lively, sapid and sensually rythmical. The finish is long and well balanced.
